^^ We do need to know these things, please answer.
I honestly do not remember what method of disabling OTA updates I used.

As for the firmware, it was the previous stable version that had been pushed out OTA.

A bit of back history: I jailbroke the firmware when it was running 5.4.x. I never disabled the OTA updates, and then it updated to 5.6.x (whatever I was running before this last OTA update).

I was not happy about that, but glad to see the fix that was provided here. It restored my jailbreak. I updated my KUAL, installed a couple of other mods (fonts, screensavers, pdf reader) and thought that I had disabled OTA updates using KUAL (backdoor lock maybe?), but clearly I did not.

The jailbreak was working on a 5.6.x firmware, if that helps. Perhaps best to assume that I /didn't/ do any OTA blocking, because I can't find any trace of it on my system at the moment. I am a bit sleep deprived with a baby at home right now, so it is possible that it was still on my "todo" list.
